He says it was forged by America. Attorney Philip O’Neill, who teaches national security law at BU Law School and is the author of the soon-to-be published “Verification in an Age of Insecurity,” says Iran is still holding back on the truth.

“Deflection by Iran is no substitute for the answers it has long owed the world about its nuclear program, nor a reason to forego the continuing effort to impose more meaningful sanctions in their absence.”
